No, that's not the alternative.  If you need to use I2C early, then  
bootstrap the I2C back-end driver early and use it (the I2C exec code  
can handle this -- Wasabi has/had at least one platform that uses I2C  
early in this way, although that code is not available in the public  
tree, unfortunately).
